Can my spouse do what he wants with our marital assets without my consent?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Joint assets may be transferred by one co-owner but that does not absolve the transfer or from liability to the other. I suggest you keep copies of your tax returns. If you cannot locate them, order from the IRS. Retirement assets may not be transferred to a trust. I suggest you first speak to your spouse to inquire if you think that will help, otherwise seek out divorce counsel to advise you on options and what may be going on.

Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Was the property held as joint tenants, community property or separate property? If either of the first two, it will pass first to the wife and then to her heirs. If part or all of it was Husband's separation property, then his children will get two-thirds of that, with the rest going to Wife, and, consequently, to her heirs.

What rights as children of the deceased have when father had a will, but remarried and didn't revise the will?

In most states, the terms of the will would determine the distribution of the assets of the estate. If the man remarried but didn't bother to rewrite his will to provide for the second wife, she would not inherit anything. However, many states allow a widow to claim a percentage of her husband's estate. In some cases, the children of the deceased may also have a stutory claim. Check the laws of the state the deceased resided in at the time of his death for specifics.
